late 80s early 90s lana del reyish lynchcore tumblrwave songs (warning: millennial content)

k.d. lang - "Wash Me Clean"

Shirley Manson & Angelfish, in vocals & lyrics way more than actual sound...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEOUZLiJcG4

Also not quite sure if this fits but:
Faith No More - Midnight Cowboy

I'd like to hear LDR covering "RV".

This remix is from '96...

Bongwater - Nick Cave Dolls

Galaxie 500 - "Snowstorm" (or anything else of theirs)

Kendra Smith - "Valley of the Morning Sun"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud56aBFEiNE

is '94 early 90s?

Portishead - Glory Box

fighting back the urge to suggest Nick Cave & Kylie, but that is way too late

Virginia Astley - A Father

(Love's a Lonely Place to Be is even more of a Julee Cruise soundalike, but it's from 1983)

The Innocence Mission hit their stride with this sound in mid/late 90s ("Bright as Yellow" and all of Birds of My Neighborhood).

Vanessa Paradis - Walk On The Wild Side

So I guess you Memory Lane shadows might not want a modern equivalent, but if you do, maybe try Ophelia Slowly, recent solo album by The Entrance Band's Guy Blakeslee: brings the lucid autumn city gray to a mindless summer 'burban day, also guaranteed to inspire sombre horny brooding over lost muse objects, suitable for projection: "Where are you, where am I," to paraphrase, and a clutter of clues, but also doomy jangle balanced by crisp vintage drum machines, almost often enough; ditto stereo babes brushing by in the background (lose the bits of falsetto though, GB). I like him better with TEB, but if you want something more suitable for an afternoon music break's discreet self-torture (minus wine, if you gotta go back to work), this is okay.

Stina Nordenstam - Little Star

Dylan - "Man in the Long Black Coat"

And of course:

I'm sorry but

Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah

my suggestions are not necessarily recommendations btw

Swans - You're Not Real, Girl

or maybe Blackmail instead

some early lisa germano tracks sort of fit this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3_rBXaJMqM

this too

Wow. As someone who owns and loves both versions of the Happiness album, that just made me really want to find 'On the Way Down From the Moon Palace'.

That Natural Calamity record has the LDR/Lynch thing down.

The Blue Nile - Let's go out tonight
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vD6nh1chWYw

Spain - Untitled #1
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hVskAVD_LRc&feature=kp

Maybe too obvious, and not as affectively flat as LDR generally tries to be, but the This Mortal Coil versions of "Song to the Siren" and "Kangaroo" seem to set out a blueprint for lynchcore (at least for Lynch/Badalamenti's work with Julee Cruise):

(More mid-80s, though, so possibly outside the ambit of this thread.)

American Music Club- Why Won't You Stay

("Mysteries of Love" did start out as a pastiche of "Song to the Siren" as a cost-cutting measure for Blue Velvet, though so I think the point stands.)
xp

does "Joey" by Concrete Blond count?

Del Rey says she's never seen a David Lynch movie in its entirety

*kills self*

King Crimson - Walking on air

Does it qualify?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIdpkBzTZAo

Billy Idol - 'Sweet Sixteen'

Totally outside of this thread's timeframe but I don't think there's a thread for 'old music Lynch would probably get around to using at some point if he weren't very likely retired from filmmaking' so here's a bit of proto-Hurley for y'all.

If we're going that far back, I would recommend Friday's Child by Lee Hazelwood, and Lee Hazelwood in general.

But if it needs to be late 80s / early 90s, try Slowdive's version of the Hazelwood song "Some Velvet Morning".

Also maybe the Sundays' version of 'Wild Horses'.

'On The Low' and 'Around My Smile', by Hope Sandoval and the Warm Inventions, are from 2001, but they are even more Lynchian than anything Sandoval did with Mazzy Star.

a-it took me forever to find this thread
b-if anyone has spotify playlists for druggie summer LDR/Lynch weirdness, I'm in.

Wings Of Joy era Cranes would fit this right?

Bohren & Der Club Of Gore, and the Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble are blatant Badalamenti/Lynchcore but I guess everyone knows that by now.

Much later than the timeframe of this thread, but I was once in a dark room with a slow-flashing strobe while LCD Soundsystem's 'Christmas Blues' was playing and it felt like Frank Booth or Jacques Renault might've been lurking in the corner.

Spell's Seasons in the Sun album fits this aesthetic pretty closely. slightly sinister covers of '50s-'70s pop songs that were slightly sinister to begin with. admittedly, all of the originals (that I've heard) are more powerful and less self-consciously grimdark than Boyd Rice's reimaginings

The Innocence Mission fits with this, though much more with their albums from 1995 onward ("Bright As Yellow" et al).

Cowboy Junkies' Whites Off Earth Now!!! fits with this as much as The Trinity Sessions.

Also John Lee Hooker/Van/Booker T's 1991 "I Cover The Waterfront" and the Hooker/Miles The Hot Spot OST songs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUkBGERTcdQ

how have I never heard The Hot Spot soundtrack before

Lisa Germano and Calexico's one-off OP8 album from 1997 might be tangentially related to this specific aesthetic. I love it a lot and more folks need to hear it.

Tarnation - Gentle Creatures fits pretty well (from ‘95, though)
